Priest Raid healing Post 3.08
Posted On Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 By Jay
Generally when a spell is nerfed, the community goes up in arms. I’ve purposely avoided the healing forums and generally most priest discussions on the topic of the 6 second cooldown on CoH. Safely I can say it didn’t make that much of a difference.
As I’ve stated before, priests are all about utility. Not utility like levitate on any raid member, although its sweet. Utility in that we have a variety of spells to accomplish almost every task. For instance, last night our priest healers experimented with holy nova, prayer of healing, coh rotation, every possible combination we could think of. In the end, a shaman held the top spot for raid healing with 2 priest not far behind. Not much has changed.
Loatheb was a lot of fun, although granted that encounter isn’t bound by a cool down. Priest healing didn’t really suffer on Maxxeanenawheahhowever you spell it. We cleared OS, Vault, plague and spider wings. Tomorrow my reactions with the full clear, and if I’m lucky, I’ll be going disc!
